HIV testing at 5 weeks.

Hello. 5 weeks ago I received unprotected oral from a csw and then finished it with protected vaginal penetration. I have been very worried about hiv and got myself tested at week 3 and week 5 with spot antibody tests. Results were negative. I got myself tested with an EIA p24 antigen + HIV antibody test as well. Result was negative. Are these tests conclusive or should I wait for full 3 months?

Thanks.

Even i checked your report its a combo test , p24 antigen + antibodies early detection test . Its a 4 th gen test. I think Dr.tan not looked your report properly. if you still worried get one more 4th gen test for your peace of mind . I believe you are from India , you can get the 4th gen test at Dr.lal path lab , metropolis lab. else ask Dr.tan.

Just an update. Got tested at around 8 weeks (54 days exactly). Thankfully negative again however this time it was not a DUO but a standalone hiv 1 and 2 abs test.

Ok got warned yesterday for excessive posting. Must have deserved it. My apologies.

Is it okay though to mention a new symptom today? Apart from the red spots on the arm I mentioned yesterday, today I woke up with what looked like the starting of conjunctivitis.

Do people with HIV infection exhibit this symptom? Conjunctivitis? Read on some forum where a hiv positive guy was saying that he had conjunctivitis during his seroconversion. So kind of worried.

Regards.

Maash you were right man! DR Tan, in his greatness, admitted that he had not read the report properly and that it was indeed a 4th gen test, conclusive at 5 weeks. Salutes!
